Ingredients You’ll Need
To make these scrumptious zucchini fritters with salmon, avocado, and yogurt, gather the following ingredients:
For the Zucchini Fritters:
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 3 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp granulated garlic
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
For the Topping:
- 4 oz smoked salmon
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Pinch of sugar
- Salt and black pepper
- 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
- 1-2 tbsp fresh dill or chives
- Lemon wedges for serving (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Zucchini
Start by grating the zucchinis using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible or use your hand :). This step is crucial to ensure your fritters are crispy!
2. Make the Fritter Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, all-purpose flour, egg, minced garlic, granulated garlic, paprika, dill, salt and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should hold together but not be too wet; if needed, you can add a little more flour to achieve the right consistency.
3. Cook the Fritters
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, spoon 1 – 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture into the skillet for each fritter, flattening them slightly. Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to work in batches, adding more oil as necessary. After frying, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
4. Prepare the Topping
While the fritters are cooking, prepare the topping. In a small bowl, mix together the plain yogurt, minced garlic, granulated garlic, chopped dill, salt and pepper and a pinch of sugar. This will be your creamy garlic sauce
5. Assemble the Dish
Once the fritters are perfectly golden and crispy, transfer them to a serving platter and spread the creamy garlic yogurt sauce generously over them. Next, artfully arrange the diced avocado on top, followed by delicate slices of smoked salmon, creating a beautiful and appetizing presentation. For a final touch, sprinkle fresh dill or chives over the entire dish, adding a burst of flavor and vibrant color.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Garnish the dish with lemon wedges for a zesty touch, if desired. Serve your delicious zucchini fritters warm, and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures!
